Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, how can I help?

What can I do

To get you by

To see you through?

Show me a sign

Leave me a clue

'Cause I just don't know

[Verse 2]

What more I can give

What more I can say

To ease your mind

To soothe your pain

You swim against the tide

You go against the grain

And I just don't know

When you're so far away

[Verse 3]

Is there a song I can sing for you?

Can I shine a light on a different view?

Is there a wrong I can right for you

To help bring you back around?

[Verse 4]

Tell me, how can I help?

What can I do

To get you by

To see you through?

Show me a sign

Leave me a clue

'Cause I just don't know

[Verse 5]

What more I can give

What more I can say

To ease your mind

To soothe your pain

You swim against the tide

You go against the grain

And I just don't know

When you're so far away

[Verse 6]

Is there a plate I can spin for you?

Can I share the load, can I help you through?

Oh, and is there a weight I can lift for you

To stop life from dragging you down?

[Verse 7]

Well, how can I help?

What can I do

To get you by

To see you through?

Show me a sign

Leave me a clue

I just don't know

[Verse 8]

What more I can give

What more I can say

To ease your mind

To soothe your pain

You swim against the tide

You go against the grain

And I just don't know

[Verse 9]

When you're so far away

Away, away, away

When you're so far away

Ohh, ohh

When you're so far away
